Arsenal Interest in Nusa Said to Be Concrete

Arsenal are showing serious interest in Real Madrid forward Endrick, according to TEAMtalk, and could challenge Manchester United and Liverpool for his signature in the January transfer window.
Endrick’s Struggle for Minutes at Real Madrid
Real Madrid signed the Brazilian from Palmeiras after he impressed in his homeland, but the 20-year-old has found opportunities limited in the Spanish capital. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Olympique Lyonnais, where he registered 16 goal contributions in 21 appearances in all competitions. Jose Mourinho chose to retain him this summer, yet Endrick has again been kept out of the starting XI, despite remaining a regular for Brazil.
Chelsea looked into signing Barcelona defender Jules Kounde this summer, according to Caught Offside, and the Catalan giants may now be open to offers when the January transfer window arrives.

Arsenal have reportedly identified Fulham striker Gonzalo Garcia as a possible attacking addition, with a fee of up to £59m being suggested.
